JAPAN ADVENTURE

Welcome to Margie & Stan's Japan Adventure - our photo blog while living on MCAS Iwakuni in beautiful Yamaguchi Prefecture in Western Japan from 8/2004 to present. My photo above is the famous Kintai Bridge right here in Iwakuni. Be sure to check out Blog Archive (below left) for highlights of our travels. And leave us a comment - we'd love to hear from you!

This Japanese flag has many signatures on it, which we assume were members of this submarine group.















A blueprint showing how only one man could fit inside.
















It was sad seeing pictures of these smiling young men, because they had to know they were on a suicide mission once they were locked inside the little submarine. Of course, we also remember who their enemies were then . . . The table models show how this whole area used to be a Japanese military base.
